Schmieder-Macy Cup

The race for the Schmieder-Macy Cup is back for another year, and once again, FRGC is making changes to improve the experience for all club members. For 2015, our venue has changed, to the Cherry Creek Country Club. As in the past, you cannot elect to play this event, you must earn a spot to receive an invitation to this tournament. How do you earn a spot?

Each week players will accumulate points based on how they finish in the weeks events. A running total of those points will be maintained here all season long for you to follow along how you are doing.

Points will be awarded based on lowest net and gross scores for the entire field each week, and players will accumulate points under both scoring systems. Flights ARE NOT considered in point awards, it is how you fare against the entire field. Everyone in the field who completes their round gets points, and more points are awarded for Majors than standard events. In team events, individual scores will only count for point accumulation, so finish all those putts!

Points will accumulate for all events, and at the conclusion of our Club Championship on September 20 and 21, the leaders at the top of the gross and net rankings will receive an invitation to Colorado Golf Club to play for the Schmieder and Macy Cups! The top 4 in each category are guaranteed an invitation.

At the end of the season, the points leaders will be invited to compete in the Player of the Year Shootout. All invited players will be competing for Schmieder AND Macy Cup, with points being awarded on the day to be added to the previously accumulated points, to determine who takes home the prize.

Additional Cherry Creek Country Club Invitations

As in past years, there may be additional invitations awarded to play the tournament. Depending how the standings end up, and who can attend. The remaining spots will be awarded based on other potential criteria including:

Where did you finish in the standings?
Did you win a major?
How many events did you play?
Did you win or finish as a runner up in the Hagen tournament?

All these possibilities will be considered before handing out the final spots.

FRGC retains the right to adjust these policies if necessary at any time during the season. All invitations are at the disgression of FRGC senior members, as well as Cherry Creek Country Club.
